I'm also linking this card to my blog group, The Paper Dolls, challenge for this week too, which is to create a card to express gratitude. I have a lot of gratitude for so many people right now. I could send this card to over 200 people!
Here it is:
I splurged recently and ordered some PTI stamps that have been on my wish list for too long. Two of the sets were On My Couch and its additions. I stamped the couch on Fine Linen felt that I die-cut with the matching die. I blended the wall with Spring Rain, Color Box's Sky Blue, and Enchanted Evening. The floor was blended with Dark Chocolate and VersaMagic's Sahara Sand.
I also used Betsy's technique on the sentiment panel. I die-cut a piece of Vintage Cream cardstock with the new Sending You die, stamped the sentiments from Inside and Out: Thank You and On My Couch, tied some Martha Stewart twine around it after blending the Dark Chocolate ink again. I folded the bottom portion of the panel under - just like Betsy. Normally, I would cut it off, but I like the look of the fold.
I have made a deal with my son that on Wednesdays and Thursdays after school, we will have craft time. We pinkie-swore on it, so hopefully the deal will stick. I hope to get something else done today...anything!
Thanks for visiting My Happy Place today!

you'll both have a lot of fun...
and make a lot memories!
Missed you! :)
So glad you were up to making something. The couch is too cute! I feel like I can just jump in it and cozy up with a blanket. You did a great job with the blending technique, too. You know that you have to stick with the crafting deal with your son if you pinkie-swore on it. Those are the rules! Missed you, Lee Anne!
Lee Anne......This is so cute! Love the sponging for the walls and the felt couch is just perfect!!! Love that idea and the entire card!
Really CUTE card! Love the felt sofa, and you did a great job with the blending technique!
Hooray for creating something!! I love that you used the Fine Linen felt for the couch. Perfect. Great idea to schedule craft time with your son. You'll both look forward to that each week.
Isn't this a fun set. That felt couch looks comfy.

Your blending looks fantastic on the card. What great memories you will be making with your son.
How good it must feel to create again! And what a great card! I love that you made the couch out of felt, and the whole scene is so cozy that I would love to curl up with a book on that couch!
Cute card! I absolutely LOVE how you made the couch look realistic.
My 5 yr old loves to have craft time with me. We have tons of fun. I hope you do too!
Beautiful job on this card! I LOVE the couch cut out of felt.Your blending on the wall is perfect!
Gorgeous!!
What a great idea to cut the couch from felt. It makes me want to jump onto it! Beautiful card. So happy to see you creating.
I just want to reach through this computer screen and give you a giant hug! I am so glad to see you back here! Your shading background looks fabulous and reminds me of when I sponged my walls years ago! What a fun look!
Craft time with my 5-yr old is EXACTLY what's promised here, too! Well, that and painting our nails, but maybe that's not for your little bud... This is a wonderful card that looks like it was so fun to make! Congrats on treating yourself to old wish list sets!!
I really love your card. I am so glad you are creating- one card at a time, right!?! :-)
This is gorgeous, yay for the splurge! You did fantastic with the challenge :-)
Hugs to you!
